Alipore Court issues arrest warrant against Mohammad Shami

Kolkata, Sep 2: The Alipore Court has issued an arrest warrant against cricketer Mohammed Shami and his brother Hasid Ahmed, in connection with the domestic violence case, filed by his wife Hasin Jahan. The Court has given Shami 15 days to surrender and apply for his bail. Currently, Shami is a part of the Indian cricket team, which is playing the second and final Test against the West Indies.

Earlier last year, Hasin had accused him of domestic violence. Shami and his brother were booked for domestic violence under IPC Section 498A. After Ms Jahan's allegations, Shami did not appear in front of the court, following which the ACJM issued an arrest warrant against him. Shami is one of the country's most celebrated cricketers and played a key role in the 2019 Cricket World Cup. He has 131 wickets from 70 ODIs and recently reached the landmark of 150 wickets in his 42nd Test match. (UNI)
